Thursday I stopped at one of my local B&Ms and stocked up . . . one of my choices was a stick had never come across before. a Drew Estates Java Maduro. It had two bands: one it the traditional position and the second at the foot. Have any of you gorillas come across this cigar? Anyway. ...

I was on my back patio smoking an RP Sungrown, enjoying the early evening and just watched a hawk fly by into the woods, and thought that it might be fun to see the views that each gorrilla enjoys while smoking. Here is my vista, what's yours? (If the pics aren't good, sorry, trying to meet...

Well, tonight I was ready for a good smioke and was looking through my humi, and came a cross a stick that I was unfamiliar with: Chonch Republic (anyone ever heard of these?), and I have to say. . . . !@#$*&%#!!!!! what a complete dog rocket! On the surface it didn't look offensive, but that...

I finally got around to trying the Triple Maduro tonight. I like! The shape of the stick I had was like the Camacho Liberty The wrapper beautifully dark, oily and rich almost flawless. It was a firm stick and before I lit it, I have to say I was worried about what the draw would be like...

I just finished reading a thread posted By Darrell: Re: Effects of high temp. and it got me thinking. Cigars have ben around for hundreds (thousands?) of years. . . So knowing some of the possible problems we BOTLs face with RH, Temp, Beetles, the need for distilled water for the humi, etc...

Immediately after getting home from work this evening, I went to my Humi and happened to pull this CAO Brazilia. If memory serves I got this stick from a bombing by StogeyJoe. The dark brown wrapper drew my attention this evening so I selected this soldier. The wrapper as I said was dark brown...

As a Fan of the Don Thomas Cameroons, today I pruchased my frist 2 Sungrown Gigantes and smoked one of them this evening. Any of you who have had the opportunity to smoke one of these has noticed the nice light wrapper and the pleasant aroma from the unlit stick itself. Even with such a...

My sister (in her loving attempt to provide me with an over abundance of cigars - if there IS such a thing) has twice sent me boxes of these (see picture of band) . They're not really dog rockets, but obviously not top shelf either - afet a little aging they turn out pretty nicely. I was...

Partagas Limited Reserve I just finished a cigar I had kept in my humi for 8 years (if I remember correctly the guys at the Tinder Box told me it had been aged 5 years before hitting the market). I bought it and aCohiba to smoke on New Years Eve 1999/2000. . . A Partagas Limited Reserve...

As a "Young Chimp" I'm looking for any and all advice from those of you who are Evolving Lead Gorillas, Lead Gorillas, Silverbacks, Crumudeons, etc. on how to maximize my experience here in the jungle. I don't have as much time as I'd like to post, post replys, or even smoke my sticks as I'd...
